Problems moving to new/rebuild computer

Server Version#:PlexMediaServer-1.32.6.7468-07e0d4a7e-x86_64
Player Version#:Plex-1.77.3.3966-a5ddb215-x86_64

I had to rebuild my computer due to flaky hard drives.

I was able to move my library disk intact to the new system.

  • I’ve tried to follow the steps listed here. -
  • I’ve installed PlexMediaServer-1.32.6.7468-07e0d4a7e-x86_64
  • I signed in when asked
  • I signed out and exited PMS by right-clicking the system tray icon and picking exit
  • I copied data from “%LOCALAPPDATA%\Plex Media Server” (C:\users\OLDUSERNAME\appdata\local\Plex Media Server") on the old boot drive to “%LOCALAPPDATA%\Plex Media Server” (C:\users\NEWUSERNAME\appdata\local\Plex Media Server") on the new computer.
  • I was unable to access the registry from the old build
  • I rebooted the computer
  • I wait for PMS to show in the system tray
  • I right-click and choose to Open Plex
  • It asks me to sign in, I do
  • It says “Initializing Plex Media Server…”
  • Eventually this changes to “Something went wrong. Make sure the server is available and try again.”
  • If I try to Open the Plex Web App, it opens as me but doesn’t think I have media.
  • When I click the + next to Your Media, it acts like it doesn’t see my media server.

HOW DO I REGAIN ACCESS TO MY PLEX MEDIA LIBRARY?

Thanks for any / all help!
